Development and Application of Potentially Important Jute Geo-textiles (CFC/IJSG/21) Bangladesh Part Project Overview on the Progress & Achievements in Bangladesh Presentation in National Seminar for dissemination of finding and activities of the project (CFC/IJSG/21), dated September 19, 2013 Jute Diversification Promotion Centre (JDPC) Ministry of Textiles & Jute Govt. of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh
Objective and Scope Objectives The project will lead to the commercial acceptability of jute geo-textiles for use in soil erosion control and rural road construction in Bangladesh and India. The results will lend themselves to be extrapolated to conditions in other potential market countries. The project will develop material specifications, field installation protocols and design methodologies for applications in compliance with requirements and standards set by end users.
Objective and Scope Scope This project will lead to substantial expansion of the market uptake of jute geo-textiles for use in soil erosion control and road construction in commercially competitive markets. Economic Impact : GDP growth, additional Foreign Exchange earning through export of JGTs.
Major Components Component – 1: Market Needs Assessment & Supply Chain Analysis Component– 2 : Identification of Potentially Important Jute Geo- textiles based on Performance Evaluation Component – 3 : Manufacture of the identified/selected potentially important JGT and its standardization Component – 4 : Documentation and Dissemination Component – 5: Project Management and Reporting
